G6DS Real in-hand at GBAtemp!

We've got it...









We've got them! Our G6DS Real samples have just arrived at GBAtemp HQ! First impressions are good, the build quality seems very good. And there's some nice freebies in the box, though we're not quite sure what the wrist strap is intended for!

Needless to say, testing will soon begin and you can look forward to an extensive and as always, detailed GBAtemp review very soon.

Keep an eye on GBAtemp!

Looks niceee... awaiting review to decide if I'm getting this or a 3rd R4

Probably a wriststrap for your DS. ANyways, I thought the Real Series came with a slot 2 device

 

[Opium]

Does the usb reader allow you to backup your DS games? That's what I want to know

 

[Shtroodle]

I apologize if this was discussed somewhere before but what's the price tag?

 

[Nocturno]

nice, but what does it has that r4 doesn´t?
only the gui I guess..

 

[magic09]

the wrist strap is for the case that the g6 is in just like the one for the R4

 

[OSW]

Awesome!

Including a wrist strap is awesome, since my last one recently broke (damn cheap accessory)

 

[Tanas]

Whats the betting that the G6 real is made by R4...

 

[tjas]

Nice! is the usb conector to put your .nds files on the g6? And is there a price range?

 

[shakirmoledina]

common questions like price and all i think will be answered in review maybe later on today or tomo like goodies included, backup ds games etc and price

There's one that's been bothering me for a while. Can you access any of N-Card clones with a G6DS usb reader? They both use NAND flash and are quite similar in terms of hardware, give it a try, maybe that would be a much faster way to transfer files to an N-Card clone.

I suppose you could use it for your DS.
No slot 2 device.

There's no included PC software so... unless they, or some smart-arse come out with one I'd say no.

I apologize if this was discussed somewhere before but what's the price tag?

No retailers have it yet AFIAK, so no price tag is known. I don't even know the MSRP.

That's what the review will cover.

Well sure, but why would anyone want to carry that around on their wrist?

Awesomo.

A million to one.

Yeh the G6 shows as a removable disk. Extremely fast transfer or files.

See above.

It's a no go... Plain old nothing happens.

So excited! i'm glad i stayed up so late, i got the news quick!

stay cool.

Since I pretty much believe the G6 team for their word there's not much I want to know. But I guess the most pressing questions are these:

Does download play work 100%? For instance New Super Mario Brothers
Can you use softreset considering the games won't be patched?
Could you CRC check or something to see if the roms are indeed unpatched? (I think there was a tool for this?)

Thanks for all the great work guys.

 

[undyingforce]

cant wait for the review...but i think we will be waiting a little while for that. my guess would be till the end of the week at the earliest.

thanks for the heads up

 

[faceless]

i bought one from store.nintendo.com since the dslite didnt come with one...

But what about the build quality? I see it uses a case similar to the one DS-X had. And DS-X' case was of very poor quality, it was very weak, many people had faulty ones. What about this one? As I see the seams are not very good either. How does it feel when you push it hard? Does it feel strong and resistant? R4's build quality is outstanding as everybody already knows, how can you compare G6DS Real's case to R4's then? I don't really trust this type of case, without screws I mean. If only it was hard glued...But then again people want changeable cases.
